She combines practical clinical knowledge with a warm, down-to-earth manner and a sense of humor to build a therapeutic relationship that many find accepting and supportive. She has been told she is genuine, encouraging, and at times direct, bringing both compassion and clarity to sessions.

She also brings extensive experience treating drug, alcohol, and process addictions, addressing family conflict, guilt and shame, and co-dependency, and she often incorporates twelve-step principles where appropriate.

Lisa helps clients navigate challenges such as anger and control issues, domestic violence, commitment struggles, communication problems, and impulsivity, guiding them to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She tailors treatment to each person, drawing on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to meet individual needs. Seeking help takes courage, and she aims to support and empower clients as they work toward more fulfilling and balanced lives.
